Minnesota Restaurant Owner Explains How His Business Has Been Burglarized 12 Times Since 2019

EXCERPT:

INGRAM: “These violent crimes and acts that happen in our restaurants and within our homes -- St. Paul was my home from the time I moved there, except for a short time I was in Minneapolis. We moved after our car was recently stolen, houses broken into, my son's daycare in St. Paul, Minnesota, recently had young kids stole the car again, again, I believe it had happened several times, and crashed it, but for the grace of God, into a tree that stopped them from going into the playground where 3-year-olds are playing on our streets. This happens day in and day out in our community and nothing is being done about it. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to St. Paul police officers, 'This man has been arrested over 50 times, Brian, I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do.' He got back out, came back, burglarized us again, got back out within 24 hours, I'm told, and burglarized us again. So we can talk about data, we can talk about how you can manipulate data, we can talk about political parties. None of that means anything to me. What matters to me is that my community is safe.”
